Equinor completes departure from Russia
Norway’s Equinor said May 25 it had exited all joint ventures in Russia, bringing to a close a divestment process it launched days after Vladimir Putin sent tanks rolling into Ukraine in February.
The state-owned multinational has halted all new investments into Russia, stopped trading oil and gas products from Russia and announced an impairment of $1.08bn on its balance sheet as of March 31, 2022.
